Sausage was brought from a hoarding situation to the Allegan Animal Shelter that Wishbone manages. Dogs had been living outside in exercise pens. They had no shelter and were overcrowded in the enclosures. Sausage needed full vaccines and several rounds of parasite control. He also developed Demodex folliculorum mites around his eyes, which has required special medication. You can meet Sausage here.
